the paper turns out to be a promissory
note; another game is TO claim estray
such as the finder advertises
in the papers. We suppose the people
will demand some sort of humbug this
season. and will have to have it. Last
year they had the .'KickapOos."
One month of Vermont weather accom-
plishes more than two or three months
in some sections. Thirty days ago
there was a gloomy prospect with lots
OF snow in the woods and fields, and
cold air that presaged- frosts and very
late spring; to-day half of a good hay
crop is on the ground, grain is forward
and the hills and fields beautifully clad.
If June keeps her temper down and
does not send freeze, the prospect is
good for an early and heavy crop of
grass and the small grains.
The CdIedOnidH has the following rela-
tive to Mr.. Haskell who resided here
some years since: J. w Haskell died at
his home on Pearl St. Monday night, at
the age of 20. Mr.. Haskell was born in
Barre in 1913. When young his parents
moved to Greensboro where he spent the
earlier years of his active life and where
he married Harriet Baker, VINO survives
him. Later on he moved TO Barton where
he lived for a few years and about l6
years ago moved to St. JOhnsbury and
for four years was engaged in the hardware
trade on Railroad st. with A. G. Harvey.
Mr.. Haskell was a quiet, unobtrusive
man, one who commanded the respect
of all who knew him. He leaves a widow,
two sons and and a daughter. The two
sons, Bliss and George, are in the west,
though the latter is now on his way to
attend his fathers funeral. The daughter
is Mrs. Chas A. Robinson of this viii
